This is a unique discussion group that structurally lives within ULS but is managed independently. You cannot volunteer for this group.
As a joint discussion group with another section (ALCTS), the Public Service Directors of Large Research Libraries Discussion Group determines its own membership and activities independent of ULS as a section. The ULS vice-chair appoints a convener chosen by the group. See current discussion group roster.
In conjunction with ALCTS, "Big Heads” of Public Services discusses issues of common interest to the senior public service administrators of large research libraries. The ALA Annual and Midwinter Conferences provide a forum for the exchange of information on new developments, techniques, and problems in administering public services.
